Cheryl Fernandez-Versini Is Being Comforted By Simon Cowell Amid Jean-Bernard Divorce

After months of speculation it was reported that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is divorcing her husband of eighteen months, Jean-Bernard.

Sources insisted that the pair are still good friends but that Cheryl has realised that she probably rushed into marriage with the French hunk and it simply wasn’t working out.

Now it is claimed that the heartbroken X Factor judge is leaning on her close friend Simon Cowell for comfort.

It is thought that Cheryl and Jean-Bernard’s relationship has been on the rocks for about six months and Simon was on hand to offer his support whilst the pair were filming The X Factor together and he has made sure to keep in contact with Cheryl as her marriage woes worsen.

A source from the hit reality show shared: “Sadly, no one here is surprised to hear this news. Jean-Bernard never came down this year and we knew a split was on the cards.

“Simon and Cheryl have spent a lot of time together since the live shows started. He’s been offering words of comfort.

“He cares for her a great deal and has been in contact even while on holiday to make sure she is coping.”

The insider added to The Mirror: “She did very well to carry on with the show as normal given everything that was going on in her life.”

It is believed that Cheryl has moved her brother into her London home whilst she copes with the divorce.
